Abstract: To ensure ongoing production activity of an industrial enterprise regularly acquires a large number of different goods, works and services from external suppliers and contractors. A procurement activity at the industry enterprises is one of the main business processes. It strongly depends on the action as various factors of the external and internal environment of the company.The external environment of modern industrial enterprises characterized as complex, mobile and uncertain that markedly complicates management decisions, increases the level of risk. On the other hand impose significant limits internal features of consumer behavior of industrial enterprises. Among them distinguish particular conservatism, aiming at stability in the relationship, the need to maintain the continuity of the technological cycle, fear of possible negative effects and additional cost when you change the properties of the materials consumed or from changing the traditional supplier. In most cases, this is a consequence of the desire of management to protect the production process from the uncertainties and risks. Special industry consumer behavior significantly influences the organization of procurement activities and needs to take into account when designing the interaction model manufacturing company with external environment in modern conditions. To address emerging issues new procurement mechanisms and tools, such as e-commerce, regulated procedures for selecting suppliers, etc. should be complemented by development institutions long-term intercompany coordination, such as the rules of interaction, coordination structures, interfirm networks, etc.Â
